Arasmeta Expansion Power Plant

Arasmeta Expansion Power Plant is a proposed 43 megawatt expansion of the existing 43 MW coal-fired Arasmeta Power Plant. The power station is in Arasmeta, Janjgir- Champa District, Chhattisgarh.

KSK Energy Ventures states that "the additional 43MW unit for the existing Arasmeta power plant is scheduled to be commissioned during April 2011. The company states that the power from the plant will "meet the additional energy requirements of Lafarge for the expansion of its cement plant in Sonadih and for its planned cement manufacturing facility in Chhattisgarh. The company states that it intends to source coal for the expansion from "Arasmeta SPV’s existing fuel access from SECL."
